Chapter 424: No Chance

"You are familiar with the woman he is going to marry."

Wan Siyu wiped her tears and said sadly: "It's the concubine of the Ministry of Works, Hou Qian, the one your eldest brother planned to marry before." ”

"Miss Hou?"

A gentle and dignified figure appeared in Shen Ruoxi's mind.

She nodded: "Miss Hou is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is indeed a good match for the prince." ”

Hearing this, Wan Siyu cried even louder.

Shen Ruoxi stretched out her hand to wipe her tears.

"There is more than Qin Shizi a good man in this world, you are noble and rich, what kind of man do you want?"

"Every time the person I fancy doesn't like me, I'm afraid I won't have a good marriage in my life."

Wan Siyu lowered his eyes, his eyes were very sad.

"Actually, I also expected this result, last time I heard Qin Chengxuan say that he likes a well-informed woman."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Hou Qian is indeed a good woman."

She burst into tears: "But I'm just unwilling, obviously I took a fancy to him first, and I have already seized the opportunity, but I still haven't been able to get this marriage." ”

Shen Ruoxi sighed.

"Marriage is a 'fate' word, Siyu, it's really yours, no one can snatch it away."

"It's not mine, and I can't ask for it."

Wan Siyu's voice choked.

After talking to Shen Ruoxi, her mood also improved a lot.

What did she think.

"I'm sorry, but you're not in a good mood, but I'm still telling you about my troubles...... I heard that your eldest brother killed Su Tianling, and now he is in prison and is going to be executed? ”

"Well, there are too many involved in this matter, Prince Rong is now holding on to this matter, my eldest brother is in danger, and Ah Heng is trying to find a way to save him."

Hearing this, Wan Siyu thought about it, and then said.

"The last time I found out a strange thing, it was about Prince Rong's mansion...... But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your eldest brother, and I don't know if I can help you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the middle of the night the day before yesterday, I stayed in the painting boat until midnight before I went back, and when I was halfway through, I saw a person walking into a dark alley, I know that person, it is the princess of Prince Rong's mansion, Xue Yuan."

Wan Siyu twisted his eyebrows: "At that time, I was a little puzzled about how she appeared sneakily here in the middle of the night, and I didn't think much about it, but now from Prince Rong's Mansion, I think of this again, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi asked.

"What kind of alley?"

"It's the jewelry shop on East Street, there is not an alley on the left, and there is a ready-to-wear shop next to it, that's it."

"I see."

Shen Ruoxi was thoughtful.

After Wan Siyu left, Shen Ruoxi waited in the courtyard for a while before waiting for the two to come out.

Murong Minghua was holding a calligraphy treasure in his hand, looking satisfied.

And Shen Che followed behind, his face dyed red.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Ruoxi looked at Shen Che who was standing at the door and couldn't help but look at Murong Minghua.

"My second brother's face is so red, are you really just writing calligraphy in the house?"

"So what's not? I just praised him for his excellent handwriting, who would have thought he was shy. ”

Of course, her words were whispered in Shen Che's ear.

But when I got closer, I didn't expect the fool to suddenly look like that.

"By the way, Minghua, Qin Shizi is going to talk about kissing?"

"I did hear that there was such a thing, what's wrong?"

"Siyu came over today and told me about this, she was very sad, and I was a little surprised, the prince would talk about marriage with Miss Hou so soon......"

"I don't think it's a surprise that my cousin fell in love with Hou Qian."

Murong Minghua glanced at Shen Ruoxi.

Hou Qian, like her, is a dignified and intelligent woman.

Qin Chengxuan's vision has never changed.

……

Inside the Star Pavilion.

Murong Heng sat by the window, listening to the reports of his subordinates, his brows furrowed slightly.

After the others finished speaking, Suzaku waved his hand.

"Let's go down."

He said in a low voice: "Master, the groom who had an affair with Xue Yuan back then has already been executed, there are no other insiders, and Su Tianling has also been buried, so I want to find evidence that Su Tianling is not the county lord...... It's almost impossible. ”

Murong Heng said lightly.

"The groom is dead, isn't there still Xue Yuan?"

"Xue Yuan? How could she have relented to testify? ”

Suzaku lowered his voice: "Master, you should know that Xue Yuan has a strong and distorted love for Su Sheng, and it is impossible to betray Su Sheng." ”

The people around Su Sheng and the Star Picking Pavilion have all secretly investigated.

Xue Yuan is not as dignified and self-contained as she appears to be, graceful and luxurious.

On the contrary, she abandoned her dignity in front of Su Sheng and was humble to the point of pathology.

Murong Heng said.

"Any emotion to an extreme can backfire, and so does love."

As the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, the crown princess is here."

Hearing this, Suzaku retreated.

Opening the door, Shen Ruoxi was standing outside the door.

She stepped in,

Seeing her, the expression on Murong Heng's face instantly softened.

"Why are you here?"

"I went out of the palace with Minghua for a walk, and remembered that you were picking up the Star Pavilion, so I came to see you."

Shen Ruoxi was about to sit on the chair next to him, but Murong Heng held his hand and pulled him into his arms.

"Don't, this ...... in broad daylight"

"No one will come in."

Murong Heng clasped her waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

Shen Ruoxi blocked it with his hand.

"I have something to tell you."

"I'll talk about it after kissing."

“……”

By the time Murong Heng finished kissing, Shen Ruoxi's heart was beating like a drum, and he was already a little dizzy.

It took half a day to get back to his thoughts.

"What do you have to say?"

"It's about Xue Yuan."

Shen Ruoxi straightened his expression and told Wan Siyu what he saw.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my big brother's incident...... But in the clues, a breakthrough may be found. ”

"I'm worried that I can't catch Xue Yuan's handle, and now you have given me such important news, if it's a pity, you came in time, it's good to have you."

"As long as this clue is useful."

Shen Ruoxi smiled.

He is now talking ambiguously, and he is speaking more and more smoothly.

After Shen Ruoxi left, Murong Heng instructed Leng Ye to go to the dark alley that Shen Ruoxi said.

Leng Ye immediately secretly took people and found the dark alley, and through the alley, he found that there was a private house in the depths.

It seems to have been deserted for a while, but there was a man living in the main house.

Leng Ye immediately caught someone and interrogated him.

"Master, ask clearly, he is Xue Yuan's concubine raised outside."

After speaking, his tone was a little contemptuous: "Prince Rong, you actually do this kind of thing, where will Su Sheng's face go?" ”

Murong Heng's gaze fell on the man who was arrested, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Don't you think he's a bit of a guy from that point of view?"

Turn your head in the cold night.

Under the dim candlelight, the man's side face was angular.

"It's kind of like...... Prince Rong? ”

Leng Ye was stunned for a moment, and then twisted his eyebrows.

Obviously, there is already Su Sheng, but she is still looking for a stand-in here, what is this woman doing.

"Find a way to let Xue Yuan come over tonight, I just want to see her."

"Yes."
